I’m concerned there might be whole generations of people that are unfamiliar with Isabella Rosellini’s Green Porno series. So here is a thread of my favorites, dedicated to the people who will love them most. Let’s start with whales for me.
@BeesAndBaking bees
@KellyBrenner dragonflies
@SarahMackAttack squid
@Cataranea spiders
@JasonWardNY ducks

TW: duck sex is often forced
@alieward worms
@bittelmethis angler fish
And finally bedbugs. Which I would dedicate to Bret Stephens but he left twitter for some reason.
Folks, there are so many more of these and they’re all freaking great. Have fun in youtube today!!!

My goodness, white-necked ravens are really having their time in the spotlight this week! So let’s dive in: could this raven really be recycling?
No. It’s not reasonable to assume any non-human animal possess a concept of garbage, recycling and the desperate need for humans to get their shit together. So what are the alternative explanations?
There has been one case where you could have convinced me it was an accident. I wrote about that one on my blog. corvidresearch.blog/2015/06/19/mee…

Alright ya’ll it’s time to catch up on the #ThirtyMeterTelescope & #ProtectMaunaKea situation: Mauna Kae is a dormant volcano on Hawaii’s Big Island. For indigenous Hawaiians it’s a sacred site. Building telescopes on sacred sites is bad. They should not do it. You’re caught up.
Could we learn some incredible things from this? Yeah! Is this view shared by /every/ indigenous Hawaiian? Nope. Does that change the reality that this is a bad move on behalf of science? NOPE.
I love science. Gosh I hope that’s been clear to you before this moment. But I can still readily see that this field can be hugely problematic. One way is our sense of entitlement to land, artifacts, etc., in the name of scientific progress.

While I’m on the subject of strangers being weird. Here’s a #thread on a #homophobic #microaggression I experienced, also from this @HiltonHotels hotel I’m in. It includes some thoughts on behavior for #customerservice folks.
So I am in Houston where one of my partners lives. My partner is a white non-binary femme & we had spent the day together before I checked into the hotel yesterday. The person checking us in said “Are you two together?” and I said yes.
The front desk person began checking me in and then said “Do you want a double suite?” I didn’t understand & asked them to repeat. The person said “You’re registered for a king bed, do you want a double suite instead? With two beds?”

It has been suggested that Private Equity firm KKR is responsible for #CafeCoffeDay founder #VGSiddhartha's suicide.

The firm has come under scanner in our research in many aspects of National Security as well.

Here is a thread on the various operations of KKR in India
As per the report MO of foreign PE firms like KKR is to borrow money from Indian Banks at 8-9% and then lend it to Indian businesses at a whopping 20-25% - the high rates of interest makes it difficult for native business to survive or remain profitable to repay the lenders.
KKR is the second largest foreign PE investor in #CCD with 6.07% (1.28 crore shares) after selling approx 4.25% in Feb 2018, making at the time 10.3%. Foreign investors together hold 22.35% stake in #CafeCoffeeDay valued at Rs 724 crore.

#Thread on AJ+ Holocaust denial that triggered wide outrage.
Denying or downplaying the #Holocaust is not new. It has been a recurring theme by AJ arabic since its establishment. 1/
AJ has continued to recycle myth that number of #Holocaust victims is debatable, deny extermination & has accused Zionist movement of benefiting from it.
AJ+, however, always claimed it is different, but n reality, it is run by the same leftists/Islamists who deny Holocaust 2/
What I find hilarious is how some top Israeli journalists have convinced themselves for years that appearing in AJ will help bringing peace and fight antisemitism.
What a naive thinking 3/

Here is a #thread for the May 14th court proceedings in the trial for #NXIVM leader Keith Raniere. These are my notes after reading through the transcripts provided by court.
Court begins with an immediate sidebar which is redacted from the transcripts. After a discussion the jury is brought in and the judge explains an alternate juror was sick and they would adjourn for the day. The attorneys still have some things to discuss, however.
A discussion starts by assistant U.S. Attorney Moira Penza. She says some materials have to do with things recovered during a search warrant at Nancy Salzman’s home at 3 Oregon Trail when Raniere was arrested.

Here is a #thread on what PMO needs us to believe with their - and Wernick’s - statements about the Dec 19 Wernick-JWR call, about which PMO says it was never briefed (cough):
That the Clerk failed to brief out the one item on his call with JWR (SNC), something the PM was in a mood about, something the PM had spoken to Wernick about that very day. Because holidays.
(This, let’s remember, is the SNC call the PM *asked* the Clerk to make the *day after* PMO (Butts-Telford) hauled in JWR’s chief of staff to tell her to get in line (ie DPA) on SNC)

Here’s a #thread about #judges and #judges’ opinions. I don’t want to name names. I’m hoping Twitterland will get the word out. It’s important, to that small audience at least. It’s about a lack of awareness and humility 1/
So there’s this emerging cadre of judges who write opinions that seem clever and erudite and get some adoring attention. But here’s the thing. At a conference of pretty bright academics of various persuasions and we have two things we seem to all think about those opinions 2/
The first is a little catty; the second is deadly serious. They both matter. (And I’m not naming names of judges or academics but you know who you are.) 3/
